Can you spell H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S?

The Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC) has long been the home of some of the best available in entertainment and the arts that Nashville has to offer and this season’s Broadway Series is no exception.

Following up the recent “Rat Pack” hit show, TPAC has booked the Tony Award-winning comedy “ The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” March 6-8.

The show (which is still on Broadway while touring four companies) features six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves. The “youngsters” learn that winning isn’t everything and that loosing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser.

This tuneful, offbeat and at times heartwarming show offers audience members the

i-r-r-e-s-i-s-t-a-b-l-e opportunity to become part of the action as on-stage spellers and is a g-u-a-r-a-n-t-e-e-d laugh riot.

Tickets for “Spelling Bee” range from $20-70 depending on the performance times and seat locations.

For tickets, visit the TPAC box office, www.tpac.org or any Ticketmaster outlet. The show will run March 6-11 at TPAC’s Andrew Jackson Hall.
